Maybe you heard? There was a lunar eclipse in the wee hours of the morning here in the PNW. Luckily the clouds held off and there was just a bit of haze. I set my alarm for 1:30 am. I could have waited another hour but I got up and went outside. My view was good right from the front door so I set the tripod up on the walkway and brought out a chair to enjoy the show. Since the camera was pointed pretty far up, it was easier to see the viewfinder while sitting. And when I got chilly, I went inside.

January Wolf Moon

Total lunar eclipse. Red moon. Wolf moon. Full moon. Lots of descriptors for last night’s moon. It was stunning to watch. Constantly changing. We were lucky to see it. The skies had been overcast all day and even when the moon came up, there was still a thick hazy cloud cover.

As if that wasn’t enough, the moon set this morning was also stunning. Sinking in the deep blue sky that gradually turned to purple and pink alpenglow.
